This is not the right way to do what you want.  Assuming the change to
the kernel's default wakeup-enable policy is accepted, the patch below
will enable remote wakeup for _all_ host controllers that support it.

At the same time, the patch will disable remote wakeup by default for
root hubs.  I think this is unlikely to cause any problems; people
probably don't want their sleeping laptops to wake up when a USB device
is plugged in or unplugged.  And besides, this is what we should have
been doing all along, according to the current policy.

Note: I haven't tested this patch.  You ought to check and make sure it 
behaves the way it's supposed to.
